Care Advice

Your table is unique and designed to last a lifetime. All our products are treated to create a durable surface, but with a little care will ensure the longevity of your marble table

Marble and limestone is an elegant and wear-resistant material that is beautiful and decorative to use. Natural stone is a living material and can therefore vary in colour, structure and marbling. Lime spar and sand pits are two natural characteristics that show that the marble is genuine. Lime spar looks like crushed crystals and originates from water veins in the rock where lime from the water has solidified. Sand pits are the air bubbles that occur when the stone is formed. This is part of the character of the stone and means that no stone is the same, which is part of the charm of natural materials such as marble and natural stone.

Daily cleaning
Marble and limestone are fragile and porous materials that are sensitive to moisture and dirt. Be extra careful with how you use and maintain the table top. Marble absorbs liquid, and it is therefore important that you are observant of spills of any kind of liquid and are careful to always wipe up everything when spilled on marble immediately. Marble is also sensitive to acids and salt, therefore you should never use acidic cleaning agents. Other acidic liquids such as wine, vinegar, fruit juice, carbonic acid, coffee can cause damage to the stone. Spills containing acid can therefore cause corrosion on marble - corrosion means that a material is corroded by a chemical reaction.

For daily cleaning, it is enough to wipe the marble with a microfiber cloth moistened in lukewarm water. If necessary, you can also use green soap, because the fat in the soap closes the marble's pores and therefore protects the top. Make sure you only use pH-neutral cleaning products. Some cleaning products have a low pH value and contain acid, which can scratch and discolor the stone. Ordinary soap is a good example of a cleaning agent that is pH neutral, and thus suitable for use on marble. Also, be sure to follow the safety instructions on the product label. Be careful to wipe the stone completely clean after cleaning instead of letting it dry on its own. In this way, you avoid boring water stains that can otherwise be easily avoided.

Stains on Marble and Limestone
If stains occur on your marble, you should use cleaning products specifically designed for stone materials. "Stone soap" is an effective stain remover. Do not use cleaning products that contain bleaching agents and chemicals. If you can't find rock soap, it's fine to do the following:

  • Mix baking powder with 20 parts water
  • Moisten a fiber cloth with the mixture
  • Gently clean the marble by rubbing on the stain
  • Let dry for about 1-2 hours
  • Then rinse with water and dry the marble thoroughly with a clean and soft fiber cloth

If it is a difficult stain and the above tips do not work, you can try treating the stone with pure alcohol or so-called "thinner". Some different agents that you can use on natural stone are:

  • White spirit
  • Acetone
  • T-red spirit
  • Turpentine

We recommend that you always use coasters for glasses, plates and other crockery to avoid potential damage to your marble and natural stone. With all our tables, you get coasters in the same stone as the table. We want to make use of all the waste when we make our marble products because it is part of our sustainable production strategy, therefore  we create glass coasters from the waste left over when we produce your table. This is included when you buy a table from us.

With these simple tips, you can easily take care of your marble and limestone. Cleaning stone doesn't have to be complicated, and by regularly taking out the sponge and cleaner, you'll always have sparkling clean marble in your home!
